I have pure love with them

She thought this would scare Quan, but she found that Quan just looked back at her silently, and then paused the video that was playing. It seemed that he was not affected by her at all.

"it's over?"

"...Well, it's over for now."

"Then go and rest. I should rest too. We have to go out tomorrow and we can't get up too late."

Hearing Izumi talking about going out again, Aine, who was standing behind him, had a conflicted look on her face, and she reached out and gently placed her hand on Izumi's shoulder.

"...No...you won't stay there for too long?"

She originally wanted to ask, "Is it okay not to go?", but before she said it, Chihaya Aine herself felt that it was a bit willful to ask this, so she quickly changed her mind after she opened her mouth.

"Didn't I tell you? I won't stay there for too long. I'll be back after a while, maybe a week at most. Even for me, it's hard to live without the internet for a long time."

After hearing what Quan said, the lost look on Aine's face subsided a little. She stared at Quan in front of her, nodded slightly, and then slowly left Quan's room.

Watching her walk out of her room, Quan stretched his body and walked towards his bed.

"have a rest."

Before going to bed, he checked his phone, replied to messages from others, and then turned off the lights to rest. However, not long after he turned off the lights, his door was gently opened. The girl glanced inside the room, entered Quan's room, quickly walked to Quan's bed, and squeezed into Quan's arms...

In the early morning, when Quan just woke up in a daze, he opened his eyes and saw Aine's blushing cheeks. Quan, who had just opened his eyes, couldn't help but be confused for a moment, wondering if he was still asleep. But after seeing Quan wake up, Aine, who was lying next to him, suddenly sat up from the bed and quickly left his room.

"Ok?"

Izumi was dazed, watching Aine leave her room, and lay on the bed in a daze.

……

When Quan was ready and came out of his room and into the living room, he was told by his mother that Aine had already had breakfast and went to school.

"So early?"

After hearing what Izumi said, Mrs. Chihaya looked at Izumi suspiciously.

When her daughter went out, she noticed that her daughter's demeanor seemed not right. She looked a little nervous and shy, which made her wonder if her daughter had a date. But when she saw Quan's reaction at this moment, she felt that her daughter should not have been dating anyone, and she couldn't help but have a little doubt about Quan.

"You didn't see her?"

"……seen."

After hearing her son's answer, Mrs. Chihaya already got the answer in her heart. She stared at her son for a while, shook her head gently, and said nothing.

As for Quan, who was being stared at by his mother, he also fell into silence. He walked quietly to the dining table and started to have breakfast.

"When are you ready to leave?"

"Wait a minute, try to get there before noon. The temperature will be a bit high during the noon and afternoon hours."

Mrs. Chihaya nodded gently and looked at her son, wanting to give him some advice, but when she thought about last night, it seemed that she had already said everything she needed to say to him, and there was nothing else she needed to say, so she sighed softly and told Izumi to be careful on the road.

"Ah."

After answering softly, Quan finished his breakfast neatly and quickly and stood up slowly.

"Then I'll go sort it out first. I'll send a message when I get there."

"Well, don't leave your luggage behind."

After nodding, Quan finished his breakfast and went back to his room. He picked up the luggage he had packed earlier and walked out of his room slowly.

Standing at the door of his room and closing the door, Quan thought for a moment and decided not to lock his room.

'Let her be.'

It was conceivable that after leaving Tokyo, Aine, feeling lonely, might enter her room and rummage through her drawers, but Izumi, who didn't leave any "prohibited" items in her room, didn't care about that. She walked slowly to the living room, carrying a travel bag.

"Shall I take you to the station?"

"No need, it's not that far anyway, we can just walk over there."

Faced with his mother's kindness, Quan shook his head and refused. The sun had just risen and the temperature was not too high. Walking to the station could also be considered exercise.

If it was noon, he would definitely not refuse.

After saying goodbye to his family, Izumi went to the station alone. After some twists and turns, Izumi bought a Shinkansen ticket and waited quietly for the train to arrive. He looked around from time to time and felt a rare sense of loneliness in his heart.

"It's true that going out alone is still a bit lonely, but Aine hasn't had her holiday yet, and she has no interest in going out, so there's nothing I can do about it."

He sighed inwardly, if his sister had time and was willing to go along, he could buy Aiyin a grey bunny doll and a box of chocolate-flavored pocky to satisfy his evil taste.

"But, Aine doesn't have twin tails, so it feels a bit weird."

Then, the figure of Toyokawa Shoko emerged in Quan's mind, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, feeling that Toyokawa Shoko seemed very suitable.

"I don't think I've ever seen Toyokawa Shoko in a white dress."

Unfortunately, both Toyokawa Shoko and Aine need to face tests before the holiday, so the holiday has not started yet. Otherwise, Quan thought he could try to hire Toyokawa Shoko to accompany him to the countryside, and he has already thought of a reason.

'In order to make the old man in the countryside happy and not let him worry about his future happiness, I invite her to be my 'rental girlfriend'. I think she will consider it.'

Sitting on the Shinkansen, Quan looked at the scenery outside the window with a slightly emotional expression.

He himself had forgotten how long it had been since he left Tokyo. The last time he left Tokyo felt like a very long time ago.

'Two hours is not too long, let's wait.'

Although Quan and his family said that they were going to the countryside this time, in fact, the hometown Quan was going to was slightly different from the real countryside, a bit like "everything outside Tokyo is the countryside."

My hometown is Gifu City. A little further down the map, that is, a little further south, is Nagoya, one of the three major metropolitan areas.

The specific address is on the outskirts of Gifu City. The surrounding area is a bit desolate compared to the city center, but it is still relatively convenient whether going to the city center or Nagoya.

Wearing headphones and listening to music, Quan looked at the map on his phone and confirmed the attractions around Gifu. He planned to kill time by sightseeing during this period, otherwise, just sitting at home would be too torturous.

……

"Arrived."

Izumi walked out of the station, carrying a travel bag, and stood in front of Gifu Station. He slowly raised his head, gazed at the sun in the sky, and let out a long sigh.

Then I looked up the transportation route to my grandfather's house and found that I could take a bus that runs every half hour.

"It takes half an hour to get there."

If you happen to miss it, it will take you an hour to reach your destination.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Quan shook his head and went to the bus stop silently, waiting for the bus to his destination. But his luck seemed to be good, as he only waited for about 5 minutes before a bus came.

After paying 230 yen, he sat down on the bus, put down his travel bag, and waited to reach his destination.

On the same bus, after Quan sat down, the black-haired girl who was holding a book in the back seat not far behind him glanced in Quan's direction inadvertently.

"Pink hair... the same color as his hair..."

The girl retracted her gaze to the book in her hand. When she was about to continue reading, she was suddenly stunned. She suddenly had a subtle sense of déjà vu in her heart. She hesitated for a moment, secretly raised her eyes, and looked in the direction of the spring again.

386. I am here to fulfill my marriage contract

Looking at the buildings gradually becoming sparse outside the car window, more vast farmlands appeared in front of Quan.

Leaving the crowded and anxious metropolis, looking at the countryside scene, a relaxed and comfortable smile appeared on the corners of Quan's mouth. When passing by the river, he couldn't help but recall his childhood memories here.

"...similar to him...no, it should be him, right?"

The pretty black-haired girl stared at the boy's profile in front of her, and gradually became nervous and uneasy. Her eyes stayed on the boy. She wanted to stand up, walk in front of him, carefully observe his face, and ask him about his identity, but...

'It's been so many years since we parted that summer, he must have completely forgotten me. If I take the initiative to approach him and talk to him, but he has already forgotten, wouldn't I be a fool?'

The soft white teeth bit the moist lips tightly, and a trace of struggle appeared in the girl's eyes.

"Wait a little longer. If it's really him, he should get off in front of the community center. Then... just follow him and you'll know if it's him."

The girl covered her face with the book in her hand, staring at the spring, thinking secretly in her heart, she adjusted her breathing, her heart full of complicated emotions, waiting for the boy in front to get off the bus.

It was under the girl's gaze that when the bus arrived at the Community Center, Quan, who had been looking at the scenery outside the window, suddenly raised his head, looked towards the door, and stood up under her surprised gaze.

'It's him! '

Although she is not 100% sure at the moment, the girl has basically confirmed the other party's identity. Seeing the boy get off the car, she quickly stood up, picked up her belongings, quietly followed the boy, and got off the car with him.

Since there were not many people on the bus, after the girl and Quan got off the bus, Quan, who was observing the surroundings and reminiscing about the past, also noticed the girl.

The two people's eyes met briefly in mid-air, and then separated.

'This beautiful girl, does she live in this area? Has there been such a cute girl here before?'

When he saw the girl, Quan felt a little surprised. He remembered that there should be no children of his age in this area, but he met a child of his age just one block away.

Recalling what happened at that time, Quan, who was standing on the road, couldn't help but chuckle, and was somewhat curious in his heart whether the other party still remembered him.

"That girl, I think she said she wanted to marry me, right? Now it's been so many years, I don't know what she looks like, but after not contacting her for so long, she probably has forgotten me."

It was the same summer, and my parents were busy with work, so they left me and Aine here for vacation, and that’s how I met that kid who liked to dress up like a boy.

“She gets along well with me, but her relationship with Aine is terrible…”

Perhaps it’s because of the innocence unique to children, that if they like someone they will like him/her especially, and if they hate someone they will hate him/her especially.

Not long after she met Izumi, she showed an unusual fondness for Izumi, but showed an unusual disdain for Aine, who was being taken care of by Izumi.

The memories that Quan had almost forgotten suddenly flooded into his mind like a tide when he stood on this familiar yet strange land. He chuckled and started walking, following the route indicated on his phone, towards his grandparents' house.

As it was almost noon and he was carrying a heavy travel bag, his black shirt was soaked with sweat before he had walked for long.

"It's so hot..."

The girl who followed behind Quan quietly reached out to wipe the sweat from her white forehead, bit her lips tightly, and followed behind Quan.

"what……"

Unable to help but open her mouth and exhale, looking at the boy in front of her, the girl became more and more certain in her heart that the other person was her childhood 'fiancé'.

When she saw the other person walking to the familiar house that she often visited when she was lonely, the girl slowly stood at the corner of the road, hiding behind a cluster of green plants, and quietly watched the other person take out the key to open the door from under the carpet in front of the house, and then push the door open and enter the house.

"..."

The girl hiding at the intersection couldn't help but clench her white fists and bite her lips tightly when she saw Quan open the door.

Joy, resentment, worry, melancholy...
